About this event
Many projects are happening in Waywayseecappo and outdoor education is one of them, thanks to the visioning of Outdoor Educator Eric Mentuck.
Eric has a passion for cycling and nature and is an active outdoor enthusiast. He is a proud resident of Waywayseecappo and has previously worked as an outdoor educator with Waywayseecappo School. He continues this work in the community, independently through fund-raising efforts. He is dedicated to working with youth and wants to improve their way of life through physical activity in nature and what better way to start than with the youth?
Learn how Eric provides "on the land" learning opportunities that promote lifelong physical activity, cultural teachings, language revitalization, diabetes awareness, and connecting to the land. Learn how these activities instilled a love for nature by youth in the community and encouraged outdoor physical activity using mountain bikes and newly created bike trails around the community!
There will be a Q&A session afterward.
